Character Options series 1 action figures

This article contains all of the action figures released by Character Options in the 5" scale, in alphabetical order, that appear in the first series of the 2005 revival of Doctor Who. Since Character Options treats DW: The Christmas Invasion as part of the first series characters from that episode will also be included.

It should be noted that the figures are not really 5" tall. This is in fact the height of the Dalek (who was produced first) and all other figures are scaled to match it.[1]
